Abstract: The present invention provides combinations and methods for changing the representation of at least one sulfate-reducing bacterial species in a subject's gut, thereby changing microbial fermentative activity in the gut in the subject.

Abstract: A brush device for cleaning golf devices may include a connection device to connect a rotating shaft and a brush device to connect to the connection device. The rotating shaft may rotate the connection device to rotate the brush device, and the connection device may include a first hub to connect to the rotating shaft. The connection device may include a second hub to connect to the first hub. The connection device may include a ring being connected to the first hub.

Abstract: An apparatus for reducing a fracture in a bone and attaching a plate to the bone includes a first sub-assembly configured to reduce the fracture, and a second sub-assembly integrated with said first sub-assembly in a single surgical instrument. The second sub-assembly is configured to hold the plate against the bone concurrently with reduction of the fracture by the first sub-assembly.

Abstract: A substantially planar circular gamepiece with a recess adapted to receive a weight. The weight is advantageously of sufficient mass so that when the weight is placed in the recess of the gamepiece, a finger flick applied to the outer perimeter of the gamepiece is likely to propel the gamepiece across a surface without the gamepiece flipping over. A substantially planar protector is also disclosed, with a hole provided to receive the gamepiece therein for storage when not in use. When the gamepiece is received into the protector, a substantially continuous common planar surface is formed, suitable for imposing collectable and tradeable images thereon by printing or other means.

Abstract: A substantially planar elliptical gamepiece with one or more indentations provided in the outer perimeter thereof. The position of an indentation is predetermined so that a finger flick, when applied to the indentation, is likely to propel the gamepiece with optimum height, length and accuracy. A substantially planar protector is also disclosed, with a hole provided to receive the gamepiece therein for storage when not in use. When the gamepiece is received into the protector, a substantially continuous common planar surface is formed, suitable for imposing collectable and tradeable images thereon by printing or other means.
